According to the woman at the Attorney General's office, no, you are not entitled to that information. It is logical that you would want that before a potential tenant moved into your apartment, in order to check their credit history and financial status.

If every building in New York City was to somehow be wiped off the face of the earth, and I had the power to pick only one to remain standing, I would choose Tom’s Diner in a heartbeat. Though I think of the Chrysler Building like a part of my own body, I would have to let it go. I get chills every time I catch a glimpse of Yankee Stadium, but I would bid it a premature farewell.

Incase you missed it, yesterday we ran a post about a standoff at the Alamo between a group of kids with chalk and the cops. The story was pretty simple: Saturday afternoon a number of kids decided it would be fun to chalk up Tony Rosenthal's recently returned sculpture the Alamo, often referred to as simply the Cube. The kids, some of whom apparently had just finished their SATs, chalked away to their hearts content and were joined in by passersby. All was merry untill the police showed up and started arresting the chalkers and then some of the folks who were chanting in support of the chalkers (see Adam's photo above).
